Is this a warm or cool humidifier?

It's an in between humidifier. A small heater in the base does convert water to steam, but it does come out pretty much room temp.

I think it's only cold. I have not used it in a while, so I honestly don't remember

Eventhough it's not a humidifier, it does put some moister in the air. Honestly I prefer it over humidifier because its much quiter, and the mist finer putting just enough moiter in the air to aliviate dry sinus. I run it for 3 hours in the eve before bed time then reset to and additional 3 when going to bed and it does the trick for us (10x12 room).

There's a high and low heat setting. I find the low heat setting to be the equivalent of cool.

It is essentially as loud as a fan of the same size ~12" around + a hissing noise. It is definitely louder than a warm mist humidifier, probably equivalent to an evaporative / wicking unit + the hissing noise. It is definitely not "loud" but it is definitely noticeable. Anyone that says this unit is loud is either speaking relatively or is used to sleeping in silence. I always have a 20' box fan as white noise to sleep with and I feel I could easily substitute it with this unit unnoticeably.

Both! The little button between the knobs is a toggle between warm and cool mist. There is a light that turns green or red depending on cool or warm. The light is VERY BRIGHT... so I have to put a piece of black tape over it.

Not really sure, it does not put off any heat with the vapor but it is a cool mist. It takes several hours for the water to run out so you would probably need to compare the amount of water used per hour with a regular humidifier vs this. I do really like this one though, it's honestly my favorite diffuser because it holds a lot of water and has a high and low so you can adjust it. Also, just a little essential oil in this can be smelled in my entire house (my others only work well in a small room) so it puts off a great deal of "mist".

Place your humidifier close to a cold air return so it can circulate the moist air throughout the house.If you have electric heat and it's very cold there (here it is 5 degrees), that may be the best it can do. You may need a larger humidifier.

It's only a fan, not a thermal heater as the title implies, so it's moving the air around it, whatever the ambient temperature is... In the summer the air felt luke warm, in the winter the air feels cooler than ambient temp. If you are drying a mani & pedi, it feels a bit warmer in the later cycles. I usually use 3 cycles for smudge-proof drying.

Yes, it is a humidifier. Proper humidity level being important for the mucous, breathing.And it looks cool!

No option on warm or cool. It is a very fine mist. Quiet operation. Option for length of diffusion and light plus on / off option for light. It's a cool diffuser.

I think if you turn the heat all the way down it doesn't blow any air at all, and the air blowing across the water is the humidifier.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

This is not a humidifier, it is an air purifier. There is no steam; only cold air comes out.

I have never used the humidifier option. I can tell you, its the very best heater I have ever owned.

New model does get hot. In previous models, the heating element was attached to the bottom of the reservoir. The bottom could get hot, and the rubber seals would fail over time. In this newer model, the heating element is suspended from the top, eliminating the leak issues, but it does get hot. We keep ours on a trivet just to be safe. Do that, and you've got a pretty good warm humidifier.

it is cool only. no option for warm. i do like this diffuser though... has timed function or just "on" - high capacity and an option for low or high.

Christopher, I've had one of those in the past and they are great! It's virtually impossible to hear this machine - it is really quiet. I don't know how warm do you want the mist to be, but it does get warm enough for my room and for my taste. It is also really easy to keep clean and is good quality. As an added bonus it has cool blue light around the bottom and if it bothers you - you can shut it off by touching the "cool light" logo at the bottom of the humidifier. Let me know if you need any more info. Alex
